My advice is be honest and be yourself. It's good to hear you have done research on the job and have prepped yourself that way. Don't get caught up in all the stuff people tell you how to prepare for a job interview and all the hype. Research the job, know why you want it besides the pay and benefits. Know what you can offer and just go in relaxed, aware, and honest. If being yourself and honest doesn't get you the job you probably avoided a clash that would happen if you got it. You can always get a job but to have a career you have to know yourself and what you want out of your life. It's a deeper process. Too many people worry about jobs when they really should be concerned with the long-term focus of having a career and it's an on going process even when you have a current job. Know what you want and be prepared to do what you have to do to get it. Most people don't do that.

I interviewed for a job over 18 years ago. Thought I had NO SHOT. Went all Costanza on them. Every instinct I had, I did the opposite. I didn't care. Never thought I'd get the job.

To this day, my boss says I was the best interview he ever had. Go into it with the attitude "I've got nothing to lose". You'll be fine.

Good luck.

It's very true. Think of yourself as the person doing the interviewing. Most people hate hiring including me. If you interview a lot you can spot the bullshit and the typical cliches. What we look for is the beef so to speak. The reality. A person who comes in feeling they have nothing to lose comes across as different than the kiss ass masses. It gets your attention and interest and you want to know more. You stand out.

I have been fortunate enough to meet shoes in person and have found her to be an intelligent, attractive, competant and all around formidable person.
I have no doubt she will achieve her goal

If you are desirable someone will bite the bait. It might not be the fish you were trying to catch but others will be attracted and bite. All you can do is be yourself. You can't make the other party's decisions for them. All you can do is raise your flag and see who salutes it. The problem is most people don't even bother to make a flag let alone bother to raise it. Some are scared to show their flag at all. You can grab the bull by the horns or let the bull gore you. Most people choose to get gored by just sitting there complaining and doing nothing.

I'm not sure competent spelled wrongly is the best part of that sentence, kind of cold unless you are writing a reference for her

Anyhoo good luck Shoes I hope you get it and if you don't I'm sure the experience will help you get the next one.

You'll nail it. Be prepared, but don't over think and let your personality through...

I second this.

Go get 'em, girl!

[binnie]

Good luck!

The best advice I could give is don't over-rehearse. If you've done your homework it will show - don't try to remember scripted answers, just relax and be yourself.

[loucap81]

Not that I have this wealth of interviewing experience but I totally agree with everyone saying to just be yourself and talk to these people naturally as you would to anyone else. Approach it like a conversation at a dinner party (without being drunk of course )

[SparkieD]

With your expertise and sharp wit, not to mention a handful of red, white, and black confetti, you've got this thing nailed!

[Sensible Shoes]

Thanks for reminding me about the confetti Sparkie.

As I've said elsewhere -
Hair dyed - check. New skirt, shirt, earrings and shoes - check. Questions to ask interviewer - check. Extra resumes - check. Recog mission to find correct parking lot - check.

Shots of tequila to go to sleep tonight - check.
